The main reason is that we would frequently have situations where both
-next and -fixes pointing at the same ci tree commit, but with
differing expectations.  If we kept the expectations in the ci tree,
we'd end up frequently updating the ci tree and then updating the
kernel tree to point to the appropriate ci tree version.

Additionally, on the mesa side, it has been useful to squash the
expectations update into the commit that fixed a bug or added a
feature.  It provides a connection in git history between code and
test results.
